Okay, let’s talk about this “5 of Swords” card in a career reading. I had a tarot reading today, and honestly, it left me feeling a bit uneasy, especially when this card popped up in relation to my job.
So, the reader, she’s pretty good, by the way, started talking about conflict and tension at work when she saw the 5 of Swords. And it made sense to me immediately. I felt like lately, things have been a bit… off. Like, there’s this underlying tension in the office that I just can’t shake. People are short with each other, you know? Snappy. Not the usual friendly vibe we used to have.
The reader explained that this card often indicates disagreements and misunderstandings with colleagues. She mentioned things like poor communication, arguments, and a general sense of unease. It was like she was describing my workplace to a T. I could tell she knows her stuff.
She emphasized that the 5 of Swords can also point to manipulation or feeling taken advantage of. That really hit home for me. I mean, I do feel like I’ve been picking up the slack for others lately. Like I’m doing more than my fair share of the work, and it’s starting to wear me down. I started to question myself when she told me that.
And then she said something that really stuck with me: “Not everyone will have your back.” It’s a harsh truth, but it’s something I’ve been realizing lately. There are a couple of people at work who I thought were my allies, but now I’m not so sure. I started to think who these people are.
The reader advised me to approach the situation calmly and rationally. She said it’s important to choose my battles wisely and not get dragged into unnecessary drama. To be honest, that’s easier said than done. It’s hard to stay calm when you feel like you’re being wronged. I tried to keep calm for these days, but it’s really hard.
She also suggested that I need to learn to identify those people who might not have my best interests at heart. I think this card is a wake-up call for me. I need to be more aware of the dynamics at play in my workplace and protect myself from negativity. I started to look around and watch people’s behaviors.
Overall, the reading was a bit of a downer, but it was also very insightful. The 5 of Swords is a reminder that not everything is sunshine and rainbows in the workplace. It’s a sign that I need to be more mindful of my interactions with colleagues and stand up for myself when necessary. I should be strong to protect myself.
- Start documenting everything. Every time I feel like I’m being taken advantage of or there’s a misunderstanding, I’m going to write it down.
- Work on my communication skills. I’m going to make a conscious effort to be more clear and direct in my interactions with colleagues.
- Set boundaries. I’m not going to be a doormat anymore. I’m going to start saying “no” when I need to and prioritize my own well-being.
- Identify my true allies. I’m going to pay closer attention to who’s really there for me and who’s just looking out for themselves.
My plan
It’s not going to be easy, but I’m determined to make a change. I deserve to work in a positive and supportive environment, and I’m not going to let anyone take that away from me.
